In the past, the customer used hydraulic cylinders for pantograph lifting systems. These systems required a complex set of components, including a hydraulic oil reservoir, hydraulic power unit, and control system. Due to the risk of leakage, an oil catch basin was also required, further increasing complexity and implementation costs.

The New Generation – Electric Actuators

Today, the customer uses electric cylinders to power lifting systems, which significantly simplifies the design. The type of drive is selected according to the required power:

• For lower lifting forces, 12V or 24V DC motors are used,
• for medium power, AC asynchronous motors,
• for the highest lifting requirements, servo motors.

Such an electric lifting system is more cost-effective as it does not require complex infrastructure like a hydraulic system. Additionally, it offers precise control over the lifting process and is significantly more energy-efficient.

PRACTICAL SOLUTION: Setec Isomove 100

One of the successfully implemented systems uses the Setec Isomove 100 electric actuator to power the pantograph lifting mechanism. The solution requires no hydraulic support, allows quiet and precise operation, and demands minimal maintenance.
